Formaris Hotels & Accommodations

Where to start?? Hotel is clean, that’s about it. 5km from centre of Santiago so need a car. A/c advertised doesn’t work, of course! It is ancient. Fridge in room is warm, use it as a cupboard to store your shoes, that’s what we did! The ‘restaurant’ inside the hotel is, at best, a cafeteria. Don’t expect to get a pre-dinner drink; they don’t have anything!!!! Tube lighting complete the general decor, very 1973!! All in all, cheap, dated and unwelcoming place. Staff totally indifferent at best, rude mostly. It’s cheap,ok but still… Will NEVER go there again and will tell everyone we know not to either!!!

Great hotel! Big rooms and super clean! Excellent stay especially after a 5 days walking! Breakfast is excellent… lots of choices… staff super cool and accommodating! Very cool hotel… lots if history as previously it was monastery… it is just a few steps by the main square and 10 min walk to the center of the city with lots of restaurants and gifts shops but also a steps always from museum and the fantastic Catedral! A jacuzzi and pool are also available for guests! Highly recommend!

Conveniently-located in the very heart of the old town, the hotel offers excellent service and ultimate comfort to visitors. No need to use any form of transport as everything worth seeing is within easy walking distance. Personal is amazing, doing everything possible to accommodate guests ‘ needs and make them feel at ease. Breakfast is basic but satisfying for the price paid. A good value for money. The room was thoroughly cleaned every day and a new supply of toiletries were delivered. I definitely recommend this hotel to everyone visiting Santiago de Compostela for whatever purpose.

As others have said, this hotel falls short of a 5 star luxury property. Reception staff not particularly friendly, with no information given about the facilities. The room, classed as superior, was their basic room. The bedroom area was quite small, the bathroom was fine, but disappointed not to have a walk-in shower. We had to ask for robes and slippers, clearly shown on their website photos. There was indeed a strange fusty smell along the second floor corridors. We went down to use the spa, to discover that the sauna and steam room were not switched on and had to wait for them to heat up. Breakfast was very good, with a large variety to choose from, but no-one at the door to greet you. We ordered fresh pancakes but they were cold when served to us.

Chose this hotel for overnight as on outskirts of SDC for easy get away next morning. Situated high on a hill the rooms face the courtyard or the pool/ tennis court, town and busy road. Super easy parking. Decor is a bit 80s time warp, but the hotel has a slightly faded grand hotel layout with sitting areas about, wide corridors and spacious rooms. we took a family room so we had 2 double beds for a bit more space rather than 2 small singles. Due to Covid the room was a bit stripped down...no kettle, minibar, robes, slippers, notepad etc. Very clean. Got a complimentary bottle wine but no corkscrew to open it. Good basic buffet breakfast with plastic gloves to wear to use buffet. Simón, who checked us in was charming and very helpful giving us all the useful info. Good wifi. Did hear some noise from nearby room with kids going crazy but just a few hours in the evening. Wonderful huge size bath. Great linen and pillows and very comfy bed made for good nights sleep. Would use again. If you want to open windows ask for a room facing the courtyard so there is no road noise. Room service limited hours but came fast and was delicious. Very good value for what we paid and a great night's sleep.

It was so good. The location is good and the cathedral is not far away. We walked around. It didn't feel far at all. The breakfast was delicious. The room was clean and nice. I think I will stay at this hotel if I go again

A primera vista. Despues de cinco dias de estar en el hotel ”Puerta del Camino”, os contaré algo, la llegada a primera vista es espectacular, lleno de luz, grande, buenas ”tertulias” muy bien situadas de forma que no interrumpe la entrada ni salida de clientes con equipajes, una gran recepción,y no sé exactamente, pero a ojo unas 140 habitaciones. Todo ésto generó en mi una suspicacia: ¡no vamos a descansar con tanto ruido, a tope de gente, y en fiestas de Navidad! Nos encontramos con un hotel de lo más cálido, discreto, con un personal perfecto, unos cuartos acogedores, impecable y silencioso, nos hizo sentir como si fuesemos los únicos clientes, el último dia era año viejo... había festejo... era normal... Ilegamos a nuestro cuarto...y silencio absoluto. Se preguntarán el porque de todo esto, y es que cuando algo nos molesta, enseguida protestamos y las quejas suelen ser habituales, de ahi que considere justo, contar una experiencia positiva y amable, para todo aquel que vaya a Santiago de Compostela y tanto si busca tranquilidad, o festejo, este es su Hotel. ¡Gracias a todo el personal!.

Chose this hotel as its away from the centre and the noise. The hotel is a 4 star, and an international feel to it. There is a parking just outside. A nice swimming pool in the sun and a good spa. The room is very big and the beds humongous. Good size wardrobes, mini fridge, big bathroom with no amenities. It needs a refurbishment but we found it good value for money. Good breakfast buffet

Located about 15 minutes walk to the main old town Cheap and name is hostel but it's a hotel with a separate bathroom. Soundproofing is a little bit, but it seems to be unavoidable because of the old building characteristics. It was comfortable to stay

Style over substance - stayed one night after walking the Camino. Room modern but hotel is located near Galicia Plaza and is central so noisy both day and night, especially when Spain sleeps in the afternoon and stays up late evening. 4th floor room - tiny window up high so no view at all and hemmed in ; no information on either - yes 2 safes in the wardrobe- so no idea as to how many digits needed etc; shower - v v v marginal gap between running v hot or cold, impossible to get a medium temperature; second shower couldnt get the shower switch (you pulled under the tap) to stay so had to wash in 2 inches of water in the bath - hence appearance over practicality. QR code takes you to hotel info - thoroughly fed up with that and using phone battery / space etc plus had to go to reception for wifi code as not in room. Wifi didnt work in restaurant in basement.
